I always forget some of my favorite vegetables when the seasons change. I rediscovered how much I love spaghetti squash on Sunday when I wanted the comfort of red sauce without the pasta. Thanks, DietBet!
Just cut in half, scrape out the seed and dust with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Put in the over at 425 for 20-25 minutes. Take a fork and shred the insides.
On Sunday, I had this with tomato sauce and homemade meatballs. Last night, I sautéed kale and onions to add to the leftover squash. I topped the veggies with more sauce and meatballs. There are a bunch of recipes in the Tone It Up plan as well that work perfect spaghetti squash. I especially love this creamy pasta primavera recipe featured on The Today Show with Joy Bauer using The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss wedges. This gluten free and clean carb alternative to pasta is a fall keeper.
This is just one of my fall favorites. I have an acorn squash that is getting roasted tonight with all spice similarly. What is your favorite fall veggie?

Oh my goodness. I just posted on this today too. I had spaghetti squash with a homemade eggplant marinara. So good!
Sarah, do you think you can do the same with Summer squash? I have some from my CSA & I’m not sure how to best use it.
you can roast summer squash the same way but it will not shred like spaghetti squash 🙁 Try roasting and having as a side dish, put on kabobs, slice thin with a mandolin and make noodles, put on top of a salad with goat cheese and ras vinaigrette!
My mouth is watering -- so YUM!!
Great tastebuds eat alike! I just made this last night. Delicious! Sweet potatoes are a seasonal fave of mine. Excited to get some roasting once the So Cal weather finally turns.
Sarah, have you ever tried Kabocha squash? i cut it into pieces on a baking sheet and dust a little evoo and seasonings on top, put it under the broiler. its delicious!
I actually haven’t. I’ll have to try it out.
LOVE spaghetti squash! so yummy and light!
Excellent healthy alternative. Will give it a try.
I eat 15-20 pounds of spaghetti squash every 2 -- 3 days! It’s nuts. And I eat it YEAR ROUND because I obviously just CANNOT get enough. LOL. The best thing on earth.
lol that is great and alot of spaghetti squash! lol. I’m having it tonight 🙂
